When a rheostat is adjusted from maximum to minimum resistance, the overall resistance in the circuit decreases. As a result, the current flowing through the circuit increases, which can be observed on the ammeter as a higher reading. Conversely, the voltage across the rheostat will decrease, as the voltage drop across a lower resistance is less, which can be monitored using the voltmeter.
There is nothing to limit current until opposing magnetic fields build up at generator operating speed-windings will overheat and burn.
In a series DC motor used for traction, the armature rheostat is there to limit the current on starting. In normal running the rheostat is set to zero ohms (maximum power) so that power is not wasted in it. At full speed the power is turned off, the vehicle then coasts along until it's time to stop.
No. If you attempt to reduce the voltage to a cap start motor by using a rheostat, you can destroy the motor.
A rheostat is connected in series with a load to allow for the adjustment of current flowing through the load. By changing the resistance of the rheostat, the voltage across and the current through the load can be controlled, enabling fine-tuning of the load's performance. This configuration ensures that the entire current passing through the load also passes through the rheostat, allowing for effective regulation of power delivered to the load.

how to test a rheostat?
If you are talking about the field rheostat on a generator, once you have the correct voltage output set, it is very unlikely that it has to be touched again. If it is the generator's first start up, then it is best to set the field on the low side so as not to over excite the generator and drive the output voltage higher that what the generator's specifications are rated at. The field excitation voltage does not have to be set at the minimum position on every start up once it is set for the correct output voltage. A good example of this is a hospital standby generator, it starts up with no human intervention needed.
A variable resistor is another name for a rheostat.
First remember this rheostat is connected in series with the armature to increase the total resistance to limit the starting current, thus achieving max starting torque from the motor
It is lost in heating the resistive material of the rheostat.
The hypothesis of a rheostat is that by changing the resistance in a circuit using the rheostat, the current flowing through the circuit can be varied, thus regulating the output of the circuit.
